I need to make a Korean name for my oc for a fic (okay, maybe not NEED but I want to because it’s fun) but I have ZERO idea how names work in Korea and I don’t want to have a totally weird name that is improper and stupid
The name will probably only be used once because I’m planning to make a nickname for the character that they’ll prefer to go by but anywayss
Sooo….. I have an idea (that I totally didn’t just get from google translate haha.. hah..) uhhhh
Jung Yohaji (Anheum if it’s appropriate) (중요하지 않음 is what showed up in google translate as well, it’d be nice it know if this is right too)
According to Google and DeepL translate, it means unimportant or not important
Is there a better name for something around the same meaning? This was honestly the best I could come up with using free translators (and Idk if I can even use just the actual words for a name, because you definitely can’t in English)
Btw, it’s a girl character, in case that helps
Help a hyper fixated girly out 🙏🙏

I. Can't stop drawing stuff for @twinanimatronics. GOSH I love this fanfic. So yeah. Here's a smug smitten Moon!
Again it's a scene from chapter 15, where we get more Moon Moon snuggles. Idk why but this part wouldn't leave my head. Must be thr cute snuggles mixed with Moon purposefully grossing Gregory out like the gremlin he is. Oh yeah and angry cuddles! 100/10. Still highly recommend this fic!!

UHHHM SO UH… IK I SAID I WAS GONNA MAKE A STORY ABOUT RINA AND HADES AND I DEFINITELY STILL AM
(Hadina OTP guys 😁😋/j)
I still am in the process of writing (the prologue 💀) buttttt I’m really excited to get to work on the first chapter cuz omg and I’m literally queening out in the notes app rn like damn Ik I’m cookin- but yea idk if anyone interested but you are now….😁 I’m in ur walls pookie (also pls ignore how illiterate I am)
I’m still working on Rina’s reference sheet and character info n stuff (he backstory is still in the making but it feels less foggy) I’m honestly just gonna give like a rundown of their relationship and other just honest headcanons about hades cuz why not man 🐺🎀
So basically Rina is kinda an npc I kinda want her to be that way cuz tbh she already stands out quite a bit 💀 and uhm…I’m sure we all know why (because she’s a monkey just like me 😊) I don’t want her to stand out too too much and also I don’t want her to be a Mary Sue (I don’t have a problem with mare sues tbh I love em but Rina is literally anything but that 💀) This girl is peak of loser girl, no friends, no family, no one to talk to, not even the animals 💀 like girly is a looser bro like this girl literally has the worst posture imaginable and while she does have manners she’s kinda just….like- idk 💀 she so off but I feel like Hades is lowkey into that (not so he feels better than her, maybe because he wants to spoil her and it makes him feel good to finally take care of her 😻😽 ……chat and I cooked??)
Not like “omg she’s not like other girls” more of like “wowww finally not the same carbon copy of every other person I’ve seen for once” type thing y’know that’s probably why (well that is why) he feels so drawn to her (why am I rambling about this no one but me cares 💀😭) but uhm yea!! I’ve always kinda felt that Hades has a type for people that stand out or don’t have the same plethora of thoughts as other people, and I feel like Hades would realize this about Rina after the start having more deep conversations (like about things they wanna do, wanted to do, or just things that most others might not be comfortable enough to talk about) Okay uhm……I’m done I don’t want this post to get too long Ik everyone is sick of me talking about it but I Literally don’t have anyone to ramble to 😭 but I hope y’all enjoyed 😽🎀
BTW ILL LINK THE STORY SINCE ITLL BE ON AO3 BUT IF I POST ANY DRABBLES OF THEM OR MUNDANE LITTLE HEADCANONS ITLL BE ON HERE🥳

digging out the eah content i created in a frenzy during last year’s summer of obsession part 1: my personal sapphic multishipping guide (created to explain to my friends which of these dolls i think should hold hands)
(more in-depth discussion of the ships below the cut)
the polycule that will take over ever after
kitty/lizzie; kitty/maddie; maddie/lizzie
self-explanatory. frequently purchased together do not separate. bonus shoutout to maddie canonically giving kitty a little kissie on the cheek and getting off scot-free in the books though. a wonderlandiful world was a banquet to me
cedar protection squad
once again a wonderlandiful world and once upon a time i owe you my life. kitty ESP being so adamant abt not giving a shit then turning around and fucking up those boys who were mean to cedar...... i love friendship
kitty/cerise
also self-explanatory. she was a catgirl she was a wolfgirl can i make it anymore obvious. also doribuki’s phenomenal fake dating fanfic....... transformative foundational transcendental
cerise/raven
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND. i entered eah a rapple shipper and exited the book series ready to burn at the stake for cerise/raven. book two was SO MUCH. it had everything. raven befriending cerise despite her attempts to isolate herself. texting in class. winking at each other. raven meeting the parents and hearing embarrassing baby cerise stories. cerise putting it all on the line to save raven. i’m ambivalent about shadow high but cerise gets literally one (1) mention and it’s in raven’s internal monologue wherein she equates cerise’s hood w feelings of warmth and safety. like how was that in any way necessary. i rest my case 
raven & maddie
self-explanatory as well. dabesties. the ride or dies. it means so much to me that raven always has a friend in maddie no matter how many clowns and jokers (derogatory) treat her like the antichrist. maddie the character ever
raven/apple
WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN. the gelphie dynamic is a classic and i am EXTREMELY vulnerable to it. they are THE ship and i will pay my respects to the end of time. i am a big fan of how they trade their roles throughout the franchise and how rich the drama and history are between them. it’s pure fucking poetry.
raven/darling
TBH. a serve. the only thing juicier than evil queen/damsel in distress is evil queen/princess charming. big big fan of darling giving raven the five star princess treatment after a lifetime of being feared and shunned and vilified. equally big fan of raven’s momentous act of rebellion giving darling the courage to be true to herself. ALSO. the absolute archetype-subversion slay of the Pure-Hearted Hero(TM) confronting the Mistress of Evil(TM) and dropping their sword. looking through the smoke and mirrors and the will of Fate itself to see the girl who has wanted nothing but to be kind beneath. swearing their heart and soul and sword to the one true good they have found. picture it. i can almost see the 100-word drabble
raven/apple/darling
now THIS is just THE fairytale couple. the evil queen, the damsel in distress and the princess charming ALL holding hands and riding off into the sunset together. dappling on its own doesn’t do it for me but raven in the mix just makes everything gel perfectly. she’s the tomato in the ratatouille the cornstarch in the spring roll water, etc etc
darling/holly
this is one of those ships where i read a really convincing fic and the more i thought of it the more it just made sense. like they'd read swashbucklers and tales of courtly love together. holly would 100% write a darling placeholder in her self-insert romance fanfic pre-relationship as a way to express her feelings. darling would 100% find out and gently pull her out of the pit of sheer mortification she drilled into the ground to escape. also the height difference is a thing of beauty
safe from the polycule
duchess/poppy
they have one singular episode to their name and it was enough. it was Everything. the dynamic you can extrapolate from that one single interaction is so incredibly appealing to me. duchess’s bitchiness belied by her palpable air of vulnerability coming up against poppy’s spine of steel tempered by her skill in gaining perspective. poppy can challenge duchess into being a better person and duchess can be poppy’s character flaw like idk she just has shit taste in women that was the price she had to pay to be moisturized and unbothered by destiny. i just think they have the potential to be the unexpected, inexplicable power couple of eah
briar/faybelle
do i even need to say anything they had a whole movie to make their case. they’re rapple if rapple got their shit together before armageddon, with the bonus of a potential curse-breaking true love’s kiss for the fanfic authors to thrash between their teeth. truly unlimited. also unlike rapple where raven is 100% against being a villain and therefore it’s apple who has to do the mental gymnastics to open herself to the possibility of a relationship w raven, faybelle is just chomping at the bit to make her momma proud and presents a compelling perspective for the whole “falling in love w your fated nemesis” thing
blondie/cupid
they are icons, they are legends, and they ARE the moment. these two are so chaotic individually, what with blondie’s criminal skillset and habit of menacing innocent woodland creatures and cupid’s matchmaking powers combined w her shitty aim, that putting them together can only mean good things. there’s this whole element of their shared passion as public figures who at their best seek the truth and guide others through matters of the heart respectively that’s always interesting as a point of irony/obstacle when they start catching feelings and have to decide what to do with them. their joint youtuber/podcaster slay can level nations

Goncharov (1973) is a perfect example of how fandom creates a shell around a piece of media and then slowly erodes the core it was originally built upon.
I have been in two fandoms that echo chambered their way to a theory invalidating all of canon, thereby making the source material itself irrelevant. One is the “Scott is an unreliable narrator” theory from the Teen Wolf fandom, which uses an odd POV choice from the series finale (the protagonist telling the story of their final battle to a character in a flash-forward) as evidence that the entire SHOW is actually him telling a heavily edited version of the story to make himself look like the hero. The other is the “Ghostfacers Effect” from the Supernatural fandom which also uses a weird POV episode (told through camera footage from a ghost hunting crew) to argue that, because the characters swear (bleeped out) in that episode but nowhere else in the series, this is evidence that the whole series is censored and edited by the author/God Chuck.
Both fandoms had animosity between fans and show creators, especially from queer shipping bases. Both have a huge amount of fanworks for those ships, and both experienced the “fandom echochamber” effect. Reinforced by positive responses from those seeking fluffy, kinky, self-insert, or otherwise wish-fulfilling stories, popular fanon characterizations slowly drifted until many fanworks featured characters virtually unrecognizable as their canon counterpart.
These drifts are addressed differently throughout fandom: Most people look at it and say, “No, that’s not canon, but it’s fun to read sometimes anyway,” or “This is just my headcanon.” Fanfic readers who never watched the source material are oblivious and perpetuate fanon characterizations as canon. Canon lovers decry the OOC-ness and complain that they can’t find fics about the actual characters they want to read about.
And some start arguing that fanon is actually more correct than canon.
Thus, the erosion of canon begins. “These episodes don’t count because the head writer was garbage.” “They made the character act like that to advance the plot - they wouldn’t have actually done that.” “Everything after this season is basically a different show.” “This happened off-screen but the network was too cowardly to show us.” And, finally, “Canon isn’t real.”
There is no canon. It’s a fanon shell wrapped around a desiccated center.
It’s Goncharov (1973).
Why do we need a source material? Canon isn’t real!
No shit canon isn’t real. It’s a fictional show.
You can’t argue the objective reality of a fictional story.
“But what’s the truth?”
None of it. None of it is the truth. It’s about werewolves. It’s about a gay angel. It’s not real.
You can argue objective reality in real-life historical accounts, analyzing sources and biases and excluded viewpoints. In a fictional story with an unreliable narrator, you can argue about what the text of the narration reveals about them. But there is no argument to be had about the objective reality of a fictional character. They are the text. Everything else is interpretation.
Why can’t your interpretation be what it is: an interpretation? Why can’t your headcanon be a headcanon? Why do you feel the need to saw the ladder off from underneath you? Why does fanon need to be more “true” than canon? Why would you rather have a fandom built on nothing than a fandom built on a text that disagrees with it?
Goncharov (1973) is the perfect canon because it will never disagree with fanon. It has no voice to do so. It is the perfect void that people have been trying to carve into their respective canons for years.
As Andrey said before his final betrayal, “You once told me you built your empire from nothing. You can’t get something from nothing, Goncharov. And so I fear we are nothing.”

SEAGULLS: LUFFY x Y/N (sfw)
(cw: kissing, est relationship, kitsune self-insert, snackies, sillyness, tickling)
(a/n: @stargirldelight @zwhoreo @anemptypuddingcup @jessysapphireblue hi i made a sfw fic about luffy aka my adhd boyfriend)
****
Luffy loves holding your hand.
“Hey!” Luffy sings, hopping up beside you on the ship’s railing. You’re sketching: hunched over your sketchbook as you chew your cheek.
“Hi, baby!” You chirp happily, ears pointed forward as you greet him.
“Seagulls!!” Luffy says, swiping your sketchbook to hold in front of his face. He grins, proudly. “My girlfriend is so cool!”
You’ve dotted some water color along the page: blue and turquoise, with orangey-yellow spotted in the middle. You’ve sketched a flock of seagulls flying overhead, inking them in with the black calligraphy pen Sanji uses for recipes. (He’d let you borrow it for sketching—after he caught you stealing it…twice).
Captain Luffy pokes your cheek. “What about me, kitty? How’s your boyfriend?”
“So fucking cool!!” You squeal, jumping up with your sketchbook clutched to your chest. “You’re so cute!!!” You squirm, fidgeting in place, before you spring up to wrap your arms around his neck. He lets you swing with your feet off the ground. “Hehehe!” You scrunch your eyes up as he snickers, too.
He rubs his nose against your face.
“Sanji said it’s meatballs tonight,” Luffy informs you seriously, “We have to steal some before bed mkay? So make sure you’re sneaky!!” He stage whispers to you, sniffing at your hair. He scratches a hand into your scalp, thumbing at the base of your fox ears. “Hm, kitty? Sounds fun to you?” He stares at you with sparkly eyes, and you nod eagerly.
“Mhmm!!”
He snickers, stretching his neck down so your feet touch the ground. You let him go so he can snap down from his spot on the railing. His sandals thwack against the deck.
“Let’s go see if he’s made any snacks yet,” you suggest, swiping Luffy’s hand into yours. You squeeze his rough, calloused palm, and he grins. He stretches his other arm all the way out to the door of the kitchen, and you barely have time to gasp before you’re gum-gum rocketing across the ship. You both slam into the closed door with a bang!
“Shit!”
You swear, standing up to shove Luffy over in revenge. He snickers, so you open a portal beneath the sea to open over his head. Luffy screeches as a bucket of seawater gets dumped on his head.
You snap the portal shut.
“Hey, sea water’s no fair!!!”
You snort, but once you see his expression you turn tail(s) to run.
“Bad kitty!!!”
He shouts as he chases you around the ship, both of you screaming and laughing as you go. You portal to his cabin, slamming the door shut. He barges in seconds after, knocking you down onto the floor. He’s soaking wet and snickering, and he gets at your stomach to tickle you in revenge.
“S-stop—ahhahaha!” You giggle and gasp as he scritches your belly, your sides, your arm pits. You squirm helplessly around on the floor, as Luffy leers over you with a monkey’s grin.
“Say you’re sorry!!”
“Sorr—haha—sorry!!!”
He lets you go, and you both sit up. You’re all sweaty. Luffy snickers, leaning back on his hands. He knocks his sandals together.
“Snacks!!” You cry, suddenly remembering. Luffy springs up, grabbing you by the waist to wrap your limbs around him. Like a koala.
He kisses your nose.
And then he’s rocketing across the ship like nothing happened in the first place.
Snackies turn out to be buttered popcorn with savory spices and asiago cheese. Sanji hands you the bowl delicately, bowing deeply. He throws Luffy’s bowl as hard as he can at Luffy’s face.

Look, reader, this is a fic about this popular M/M ship, I swear it is...
I just... well, I gender-swapped one of them, and changed her backstory so she did not grow up with the same family, or in the same place, but was the daughter of this other cool character in the show instead. And because she was raised a woman, she has a slightly different job/goals/dream like he did in canon, and also on a different side now, but it's still him, promise.
Okay, so yes, she met the other half of the pairing under completely different circumstances, so they don't share the bond and friendship you usually read fics for, but they fall in love at first sight and she totally wants to marry him and have his babies, like, immediately, and he totally wants to settle down with her too. True love!
Girl, just write your self-insert M/OC fic. I promise you, it's okay. I know the internet likes to say that it's cringe or whatever, but just go for it. Everyone does it, either as a phase when they are young or cause they just enjoy it.
Trust me, morphing one of the canon male characters into your female OC will annoy way more people, cause it's tagged as their ship and it's very much not.

Since the conversation seems to be somewhat shifting towards AI, look at this gem I found today! https://twitter.com/elizabethminkel/status/1665857285531238401
Tech bros are the plague of mankind, I swear. They strip of beauty all the arts because they want a "hands on" experience, as if they're constantly wearing a VR headset.
No, I don't want to fucking chat with a character. That's not why people enjoy fics to begin with!
Not to mention that this crap would just be roleplay: you play one character, the AI plays another. I used to do that with fandom friends on Facebook, back when Ao3 was at its beginnings. Except that, with an AI, there'd be no twists and turns, and no personality whatsoever, because AI can't come up with original ideas. They harvest and remix the stuff that was put into them previously, but they can't offer anything new.
This crap thinking also stems from the "stereotypical" view of fanfics: that they're all about self-fulfilling fantasies and that the main character must be a self-insert of the author, while the other part of the ship is someone you wish would bend you over.
Sure, plenty of fics start off from "I would love to be in this situation" or "I find this very specific kink to be hot", but like... not all? And definitely not the majority. But saying that a fic is just self-fulfilling fantasy is so, so stupid, because then all writing, even that of traditionally published authors, must fall under that category because they included whatever topic interests them or because the story is based on one of their past experiences/a place they visited.
This whole AI shit, and how strongly it's pushed, really shows that we truly live in a capitalistic hellscape: people see no value in the arts, not even if they're done for pure personal enjoyment. Literally a culture sculpted in the "rise and grind" mentality, the one that wants people to constantly work to earn money and nothing else, and in which all experiences must be lived in first person or are otherwise useless.

Right?!?? Calling it predatory is beyond awful and it just reeks of vilifying queer people. We aren't safe from it in every day life and now we aren't safe in our online spaces too?? Particularly in a space we curated for us because we want to write and discuss our queer fics?? And the sheer irony of (presumably) straight woman saying we are acting like a woman in gay bar like.....GIRL- GIRL ARE YOU HEARING YOURSELF-
And the twitter situation omg I have to briefly rant. Someone I follow commented on (albeit 2 years old) post of this straight girlie who was whining about the fact that character she likes was confirmed gay and how she wanted to keep drawing him in straight ship with her female self insert but people were mad at her for doing so. Like no shit 😭 she kept doing it for months after and I think she eventually stopped but like erasing character's sexuality like that when he canonically struggled with being gay too is just gross.
And my gods- girlies acting like Astarion is straight and guys acting like Shadowheart is straight is bane of my existence when all companions are canonically queer!!
As for games, Imma finally be able to properly play all of my favourite games because my laptop is so fucking old that it takes forever to play Sims 4 (admittedly I do have billion mods) let alone something else. I only played BG3 on my bestie's PC and I'll finally be able to do it properly 😭 I swear the only game I don't have any problems with playing on current laptop is Monster Prom. I tried playing Resident Evil 4 (another big hyperfixation) and it was so ungodly slow.
-🔮
Right?! And it’s literally on the verge of painting us as PREDATORS for writing fics? Like come on love both me and you know you aren’t that stupid to think what I do is predatory 💀
Also yes!! Like I said a privilege take to make by a straight woman 😭 like the self insert community isn’t a sacred straight space and fanfiction as a whole is not even a straight space 😭
Some ppl will never stop fascinating me bc I don’t understand this obsession straight people have with canonically queer characters. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an exclusively lesbian character and gone “let me make a male insert fic for her” like there is a whole lot of entitlement there. Not to mention how these little self inserts they make are always catered to white women. There was a Valentine’s Day cod post and i believe all characters except for gaz’s partner were white they will literally do anything to ensure there’s content for them
Also I can imagine how slow sims must’ve been my friend who has a good game set up still has issues with the game and I cant even imagine your situation also resident evil sounds like sm fun to play! I’ve only watched play through but I’ve loved every one of them!

Hi, Jil!! Just popping in because of your tags on my fic asdfghjkl
I did write "this one is for my Pokémon mutuals" with the thought "specifically Jil" in parentheses in my head--you're like ... my main Pokémon mutual. Gotta share some breadcrumbs of Aria/Eusine with THE Pokémon mutual, of course.
Also Eusine is a fairly arrogant character--he's very proud of his knowledge of myths (oh no ... a man who likes history ... and me having a history degree ... how could I resist ... /lh) and does tend to dismiss others when they try to correct him. He's not as dismissive of Aria or Morty, though, because ... *childhood friends beam.* Also maybe he likes Aria that way, so he's a bit easier on her, who knows--
Anyway, I had the misfortune of seeing the only (?) Johto anime episode with him as a kid, and little 9-year-old Sarah really though, "Man. This guy's a jerk." Little did she know she'd fall for that jerk years later. We don't talk about that--
The loss of the shiny Pidgey exists because I was training Ollie (my Chikorita/Bayleef/Meganium) in HG the other day, encountered a shiny Pidgey, and realized I didn't have any more Poké Balls--massive loss. But also a win because ship lore. And also the second time I've run into a shiny Pidgey while playing a Johto game ... maybe someday I'll actually catch the thing.
ANYWAY. I always felt Suicune would prefer Aria over Eusine (similar to the way the plot unfolds in the games, with Eusine eventually ceding the right to catch Suicune to the player), and while she would like to catch it, she's not as ... let's say ... passionate about it as Eusine is. Hence why Suicune tends to respond to her.
... she does think him chasing after Suicune all the time cute, though. It's very subtle, but she would've been mega embarrassed to fail that Pidgey in front of him--because, while it's not stated directly, she's imagining a scene where she failed at her life goal in front of her crush. It's not like Eusine doesn't do that on a regular basis, but that only makes it worse for Aria asdfghjkl
I also liked writing the subtle “… you were talking to Suicune about me?” followed by Aria immediately changing the subject--and then her adjusting his bow tie later. Subtle things get me all the time--
Anyway, uh--Morty, huh? 👀 /lh
(And sorry for the essay--I just. Have a lot to say and like to respond to tags through asks, sometimes asdfghjkl)
~ heart-of-aspiration 📖
HI SARAHH!! - oh man the fact you had me in particular to share the aria/eusine ship makes me SO honored ("THE pokemon mutual", that made me audibly giggle) and i'm honestly here for it, and you can tell i can definitely like - have the capacity to take batch after batch of hardcore pokemon ship/self insert lore (and be equally as talkative and lengthy about it...) so naturally i'd immediately gravitate here, and it's characters belonging to gen 2 which i'm incredibly biased to.... AHFJSHFGAS
i should've expected this from eusine - it would seem that he doesn't seem too dissimilar to his manga counterpart (which is radiating the same vibes as how you written him, he's definitely arrogant but kind enough to help) i actually should share some panels of him maybe! i'll admit that he was really hilarious for being lowkey petty due to a certain circumstance in the manga, but moving on!
i respect that his attitude is toned down towards aria and morty, they're totally good friends and morty doesn't seem like someone who'd engage in fights quickly - he's super relaxed and wise...
the whole pidgey story got me WAHUSHASHDAF THAT'S SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITYYY but that moment was enough to be a realistic incident for aria and i LOVE it. i hope you can actually catch that shiny birdie!!
i can totally imagine a scenario where she notices eusine on his failed attempts to catch suicune and he probably curses to himself (assuming he's alone) and aria would just quietly laugh, reminding herself how much she adores him and how cute he is for that - i swear i know a dynamic where they had a similar vibe to this but i can't seem to point out who or what -- but my point is, i love that dynamic so much. it doesn't feel TOO much like a rivalry but it's enough to at least poke fun at each other's professions + their little romance heheh ITS JUSTTT. YEAHHH!!!
let's not talk about morty /lh /pos the headband makes him look so cute combined with his relaxed personality and i'm on a hunt for a misdreavus and to name it after him as we speak WAHUSDHAUFS (IT'S NOT SUCCESSFUL HOWEVER BUT I'M GETTING THERE) let's just say he's one of the early crushes i have - not too active but i... would like to hold his hand HWAJHSDJAHJFDSAF. if he ever resurfaces im running to you immediately /pos /lh

Sometimes, when I read a TFP fic and see Megatron getting called old, my brain just goes no!!!
I'm pretty sure it only comes up in Covenant of Primus and most people haven't read it, but I like Megatron being young. It's quite different from the usual Megs.
Such a silly pet peeve. Have you got any silly pet peeves?
Was this an excuse to let me be petty? This feels vaguely like fishing for information
I'm a petty person sometimes but I don't like to make it anyone's problem typically, but I suppose this is my opportunity to
It's silly but I'm mildly wary of Starop, most especially tfp Starop. I've mentioned this before. It's not that I hate it, oh no no no I think it's a fine ship, just not one I really ship.
Fics continuously and automatically assuming the shorter/smaller character is the uwu submissive bottom smol bean (I've also talked about it before, it's honestly less of a problem than it used to be and in general I think it was worse in other fandoms, but this petty pet peeve of mine has me in a chokehold)
There is a distinct lack of top!reader fics, like. It's not that I don't like x reader fics or self insert fics good on y'all for writing them, I just... Wish there were more where the reader tops. Because I'd give my left knee to dick down a decepticon okay? Please?
Honestly? Like fr honestly? When people argue about "fanon vs canon". There's an amazing amount of variety in this fandom and we're allowed to let our little guys' personalities and backstories diverge from canon. I love ooc characters, they're secretly amazing. "He would not fucking say that" but what if he would? How would things change if he would?
This one is just me but I don't see Bumblebee as a child. Like, yes, in most continuities he's certainly young but with everything I've seen he's just short.
Not transformers related in the slightest but relevant to recent events: I hate fireworks so much, oh it's personal PTSD yes I know but I swear to fuck if they start setting them off here when night hits, distinctly after the 4th, I might lose it. No, I don't care if you feel like you need to be extra patriotic this year for some reason, there's no reason to be setting off the Big Fireworks five days in a row.
IMO I don't think femmes are focused on not nearly enough in this fandom, hell even in canon.
I... Don't read fanfiction that isn't TF fanfiction. IK nobody's recced me not tf fanfiction yet but I'm saying this ahead of time, I do not like reading fanfiction that isn't transformers fanfiction
Don't misgender me. I'm rarely so clearcut on anything but I get misgendered enough irl, my pronouns are right there and my entire blog is based on wordplay. I have legitimately never presented myself as anything other than nonbinary on this blog, there is no reason.
^^^ also applies to Nightshade. Legitimately no damn reason to misgender them.
When people say "transformers has gone woke" jokes on you it's called progress.

For that ask game you posted: 🍓, 🍄, 🦷
🍓: how did you get into writing fanfiction?
Daydreaming and thinking "what if...?" while playing Zelda. The first actual fanfic I wrote, was actually a silly self-insert fic that I co-wrote with my late best friend. She and I traded off writing chapters, swapping a notebook back and forth - then it turned into floppy disks and USB drives. We wrote it all throughout high school, and I still have those notebooks, the finished fics on disks, and artwork that she drew for it as well. It's still one of my favorite memories - we did the same when we were in college too, but that time it was a YGO fic. We never published it anywhere, because one: we were cringe but not free just yet (these were the days of Mary Sues/Gary Stus) and two: we were literally Just Having Fun.
I've been writing for years, though: one of my aunts still has the first story I ever wrote, back in first or second grade, about a baby harp seal, lol
🍄: share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
One of the silliest things Vincent and Reilena own are matching pajamas; it started as a joke when Yuffie bought Vincent a pair of cute fuzzy pajama pants with a bat pattern, and then found a matching shirt & shorts set for Reilena. They own several now, with some racier sets, and a couple that they've bought for each other with inside jokes/pet names.
🦷: share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
Write for yourself, first and foremost. Cringe is dead. If you're having fun, that's what matters; fandom is supposed to be enjoyable, not stressful.

FOR THE ASK GAME!! :DD
🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?
I like surprises! I don't get them often, but I think they're a blast. I usually complain if somebody springs something big on me I have to travel for, but I usually enjoy whatever it is-- I mostly just like the talk. But yeah! I like surprises
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on
Make enough food for leftovers!! I'm grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking, you HAVE to make enough for leftovers. Make food for your friends. Surprise people with food. I am such a firm believer that food is a sign of love, for yourself, for others.... make food that you love! Love yourself!! Make enough to bring to work and to have when your sad! Get really into sandwiches! Just. love food? In every way you can. It's good for your brain, good for your heart, good for stomach.
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
I really don't like Lady D. She annoys the fuck out of me actually. She clogs up the resident evil tag, I don't like a lot of her fans energy... She's just fine, and she gets too much hype for being big, evil and hot. Listen. I'm a lesbian. I love women. She's hot. But I think she gets too much energy from the fanbase considering she's a essentially a miniboss, and frankly, a pretty flat one. Beyond her relationship with her daughters, there's not a lot to her. I don't care for RE8 anyway (I think it tries to do too much, and in having so many antagonists, doesn't give any of them time to properly shine. Having a beef between the siblings is a fun dynamic, Mother Miranda is aesthetically incredible... none of it changes the fact a lot of them would have benefited from being in different games)
I would so much rather that energy goes to any of the other resident evil woman. It's insane that when I try to find and saphic content for the fandom, an insane amount of it is self-insert ship art with Lady D! Not to hate on anyone who selfships, that's fun as hell, but with ANYONE ELSE, please.
Also. Might do a post about Mia later because I'm thinking about themes of motherhood again. Honestly, the only reason Lady D works in RE8 for me and why I don't completely hate her is because her theme of motherhood and taking work so well with Ethan's story, it's a shame she's not in RE8 for longer, and that the deaths of her Daughters weren't more impactful to her is a downright SHAME.
❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
I won't say rewriting RE8 because I'm thinking about it now, but know I want to. I have two fics I would love to work on personally? This might be cheating, but... I don't think I care. I want to work on them. As much as I don't like RE8, I *do* have kind of a silly fic I've been slowly working on that very indulgently combines my two favorite things: Rewriting stories I don't like and turning people into monsters.
It's a bad-end fic where after the end of RE4, Leon, Ashley and Luis are re-infected with a strain of Plagas that just makes them buggy, so they go into hiding. Slash cut to RE8, they're hiding out in the same village Miranda's shit is happening, and being kinda pissy towards Chris for """killing"""" Mia, Ethan teams up with Ashley while Luis and Leon just fully have baby Rose with them. It's fully just an excuse to act out like. 3 silly scenes I have in my head, but one day I hope to put that out into the world.
This was so much fun, thank you so much for the ask!!! <3

happy pride mont
Well I guess I could share some drawings since usually I just dogpile everything I want to say into 1 post and don’t necessarily have room for the art which is sad.
So I decided for pride month I’ll just dogpile some of my art that I haven’t shown here relating to my favorites from hxh kind of being like those 60 color packs of crayons.
I draw kind of like a crazy guy and I have a fair bit of art so I’ll make a cut off line to not clog...
Btw so I dont jumpscare you the art is of Izunavi and Giuliano, Shalnark and Chrollo, & Muherr and hehe a not canon character (In that order)
Hehe i just have some portraits of Izu for fun here not necessarily ship or anything related but I just wanted to share them Since I made them a while ago and he looks very nice:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok but it gets a little gay here so urm: Happy pride moth:
Tumblr media
I made this one because I wanted them to have a happy life that I knew they could never have!!!!!!
Tumblr media
I made this one because THEY BOTH LOOKED SO GOOFY IN THAT ONE PANEL THAT I HAD TO REMAKE IT I COULDNT DO IT
Tumblr media
just a funny little drawing for fun that I stayed up a little too late making 1 time because these guys just kind of carry me away..
Tumblr media
On valentines day I was having a rlly bad time a really bad day and everything and then I made these guys and everything was better 
MS PAINT BRO
Tumblr media
I made this one in ms paint and it makes me so happy man... I have it as my background screen on my computer rn i didn’t intend for this drawing to bang so hard but also I kind of drew it intending for it to be like the only house that’s not on fire yet because that’s a song that’s perfect for these guys hear me out
Tumblr media
I made that one at like 2 am and yes it was to this song and to me it is objectively about these guys
I guess it could be a projection bc i just wanted to squeeze that guy bc hes just so funny and silly and I love these guys and giuliano is just like me for real so it’s fine 
I care about them a lot man I even made an article on the shipping wiki for them because I uhhh I uh help I urm
I have... another one that I ALSO made an article for... and it brings me extreme distress as well as extreme joy
we have our 2nd place to Shalkuro :100:
I have a lot of art for it I’ll make a post for it one day I swear and it will be insane in length because I really need help man ... If izugiuli is my comfort ship this is the REASON why I need comfort
proceeds to show harmless nice little drawings:
Tumblr media
I saw that trend everywhere so this is a rlly recent drawing but I made them with the barbie and ken because I... well come on... its literally perfect okay
Tumblr media
gooberish little drawing because i was bored
Tumblr media
THIS WAS A REDRAW OF A GOOFY GARTIC PHONE DRAWING MY FRIEND MADE SO THATS WHY IT LOOKS KIND OF STRANGE I tried my best to replicate the essence
Tumblr media
shalkuro as teens ig comfort (I relentlessly got called gay for this one Stop jules bullying 2023) 
Tumblr media
Im a little crazy so maybe I did make another omori hxh au and a lot of it is Shalnark in the au or Shalnark and Chrollo
Tumblr media
Redraw of the sticker because hehe
Tumblr media
THIS IS BASED OFF OF AN UNFINISHED FIC I HAVE thats not necessarily ship related but also is but also you can interpret it any way you want and imo it’s so cute
I’ll finish it one day.
Tumblr media
Another ms paint art but it’s inspired off of bad apple for actually no reason other than that I think it would look cool and I went through 5 stages of hell trying to draw this but I made it out fine
God I want to talk so much about Shalkuro since Shalnark is ALSO just like me for real and I actually haven’t before on this account and it’s kind of my soundboard for talking abt whatever relating to hxh but I really think I should save it for a post of it’s own..
Anyways onto the next one its a little funny thing
I shipped my self insert with Muherr as a joke ok but now its kinda funny and I like it and I actually rlly like these drawings i made for it
Tumblr media
dont ask why he looks drunk its a long story
Tumblr media
I had to make this it was honestly too funny for me not too and I love it so much EXCEPT for the fact that I realized that my self insert looks so much like pariston in here
Im supposed to have dark hair but I just didnt feel like coloring it in there bc the lineart looked good enough to me
but yeah muherr x jules otp forever /j
hapy pride month whoever or whatever you are whether your gay or not!!!!
dont forget to have fun and be a kind neighborly person like me

1, 2, 3, 13, 15, 24, 17
1. The character everyone gets wrong.
Any minor character who doesn't have much to play in canon. Not actually bc they are misinterpreted, but for the fact that the fandom takes advantage of this empty jars to insert their OC's and pretend it's an expansion of that character.
2. A compelling argument of why your fave would never top or bottom.
I'm almost sure at this point a big part of the fandom agrees on pony being 100% a bottom, so let's move onto bottom Dallas💀.
The main reason of why I can't see him in certain ships like tally it's bc Dallas is the type that I can only seen as protective and dominant. Dallas with men who are similar to him it's something that just doesn't work in my mind.
3. Screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on Tumblr.
✨ I don't have a screenshot, but that take of this unpopular person in fandom who was arguing that johnnyboy shouldn't be shipped bc they have an age difference and johnny forgot he was already 14 instead of 13, which means he still saw him as a kid. Godammit, I swear sometimes this fandom just look for excuses to make you feel bad about shipping the characters and their age differences.
✨ HISPANIC SHEPARDS. As an hispanic at first I was all "oh this could be nice" but after seeing the fanon pursuing more stereotypes than actual research I gave up.
Shot out to ROTPL bc they gave me the best portrayal of hispanic-americans in the 50s💖.
✨ And not from Tumblr, but that time I saw someone tagging Marcia on a fic with the white passing argentinian label💀 I'll never overcome that one and this is what I mean about not doing actual research.
13. Worst blorbofication.
Steve maybe? I don't even seen him as a character but as an extension of soda as a character. Whenever I see this takes where everyone claims that he is underappreciated and how we deserved to know more about him I can't take it seriously.
15. That one thing you see in fanart all the time.
Johnny wearing dal's jacket. Please don't, I've made this rant before about how not even if they were canon Johnny would wear the jacket.
Also curly shepard as a goth/punk kid. That portrayal of the character in the TWTTIN adaptation is the only thing the fandom is relying on about him.
17. There should be more of this type of fic/art.
I agree with you in JUST MORE FANART IN GENERAL. It breaks my heart when I found fanartists in this fandom who are just going through an outsiders phase to throw it away in less than a year😭.
And time to add my self indulgence here: FANTASY THEMED FANART/FIC. Do you know how sad it is to be an amateur illustrator who has to take the wheel on this? I love fantasy/fairytales and I would love to find that type of au in the outsiders🥺✨.
24. Topic that brings the most rancid discourse.
"Sylvia/Cherry/Angela did nothing wrong".
Yes, we have a lack of female characters on this story, but nope, that's not a reason to glorify and distort the events in order to victimize these girls to make a point.
I rather hearing takes of people saying they like characters like Angela Shepard with all her flaws and recognize that she did wrong than see distorted fanon to girlbossify her.
